The next day the lyricist showed Henri Betti a list of ten three-syllable titles, the last of which was C'est si bon. André Hornez said that the title should be three syllables, sung to the first three notes of the song. He then went up to Paris and made an appointment with the lyricist André Hornez at the Hôtel Grand Powers at 52 rue François Ier to find a title for his song. Once back home at 52 rue des Ponchettes, he composed the melody in less than ten minutes. He wrote the notes on a sheet of music paper so that he would remember them. Passing under the arcades of the avenue de la Victoire he stopped in front of the window of a Scandale lingerie shop and it was there that the first nine musical notes of the song came into his head: F, E, E ♭, F, G, A, G, F, D. In July 1947, Henri Betti was in Nice and on his way to join his father in the center of town to play a game of bridge. The song has been adapted in several languages. The English lyrics were written in 1949 by Jerry Seelen. "It's so good") is a French popular song composed in 1947 by Henri Betti with the lyrics by André Hornez.
